1
scalar quantities
physical quantities that have magnitude only
2
vectors quantities
physical quantities that have both magnitude and direction
3
period
time taken for one complete oscillation
4
frequency
number of complete oscillations per second
5
acceleration
rate of change of velocity vector quantity
6
pressure
force acting per unit area scalar quantity
7
mass
amount of matter in a body
8
weight
amount of gravitational force acting on a object
9
density
mass per unit volume scalar quantity
10
moment of force
product of a force and the perpendicular distance from the line of action of the force to the pivot
11
principle of moments
for an object in equilibrium the sum of clockwise moments about any pivot is equal to the sum of anticlockwise moments of the same pivot
12
centre of gravity
a point through which whole weight of body appears to act
13
principle of conservation of energy
energy can neither be created nor destroyed it can only be converted from one form to another or transferred from one body to another but the total amount in an isolated system remains constant
14
word done
product of force and the distance moved by the object in the direction of the force
15
kinetic model of matter
all matter are made up of tiny particles that are in continuous random motion
16
convections
hot liquids are less dense and rises cold liquid are denser and sink the process is repeated setting up convection currents
17
wavefront
an imaginary line on a wave that joins all points that are in the same phase
18
transverse wave
waves where particles move perpendicular to direction of the wave motion
19
longitudinal wave
waves where particles move parallel to direction of the wave motion
20
sound
sound is a longitudinal wave it travels as a series of compressions and rarefactions energy is transferred from one particle to another causing sound to be transmitted
21
total internal reflections
light must be travelling from an optically denser medium to an optically less denser medium the angle of incidence in the optically denser medium is greater than the critical angle
